The White House has confirmed that Iran has agreed to transfer its enriched uranium stockpile, marking a significant development in U.S. President Donald Trump's efforts to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. According to BlockBeats, White House Press Secretary Levitt stated on Wednesday that this issue is a top priority for President Trump, who has cited the prevention of Iran's nuclear weapon development as a key reason for potential military action.
Levitt emphasized during a briefing that this is a non-negotiable red line for the President, who is committed to ensuring the transfer takes place. When asked if Iran had indeed agreed to the transfer, Levitt confirmed it but did not provide further details.
International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Grossi noted that nearly half of Iran's enriched uranium, with enrichment levels reaching up to 60%, is stored in a tunnel facility in Isfahan. This facility was reportedly the only target not severely damaged during a U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear sites in June of the previous year.
U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseth commented that the uranium is currently underground, and the situation is being closely monitored. He affirmed that the U.S. is fully aware of Iran's capabilities and retains the right to conduct further military strikes if necessary to destroy the enriched uranium.
